One Year Old

Happy Birthday, Liam!! Liam turned 1 last Monday, and I just can't believe how short of a time it was that our baby was, well, a baby. This was most definitely the most incredible year for all of us, so there was much to celebrate!

On Saturday, Liam had a few friends over for a little birthday party. Decked out in his b-day hat (but not sure what to make of all the commotion):



Liam's first birthday "cake", which I made him with inspiration from his very favorite book, The Very Hungry Caterpillar; backdrop compliments of little Brigid Sullivan!



Bring on the cake!



Taking every ounce of willpower to not grab that cupcake...



A little video of the destruction that ensued... (that thing was GONE after about a minute!)



Liam opening a present from Aunt Jen:



Since Liam's actual birthday was a Monday and Mommy and Daddy both had to work, Liam got to open some presents first thing in the morning (thanks Grandma and Papa! I think he liked it!!):



Liam posing in his festive t-shirt (pay no attention to the bump on his forehead-- he's got his Mommy's sense of balance):



The birthday celebration continued! Liam opening his present from Aunt Vicki and Uncle Dick:



Liam had his 12-month check-up on Wednesday, and other than his ongoing skin issues, he is a healthy and growing boy! At a little over 26 lbs and 31 inches, he's in 90th percentile (back on the charts!) in both weight and height. We got the green light for cow's milk and all food except nuts... only to discover the hard way that Liam has an allergy to eggs...

PS- ANOTHER snow storm last Friday. Will this winter ever end?! Snowiest winter on record for this area!
